Join our team on the beach when the pager goes 🌊

Walton & Frinton RNLI are looking for new volunteer shore crew to join our amazing team.

Every time our D class launches, whether on exercise or service, our shore crew are critical to making it happen. They enable the launch and recovery, keeping our lifeboat and kit ready to go at a moment’s notice.

No experience needed, and full training is provided. Shore crew can also go on to become Tractor Drivers, Head Launchers and boat crew.

Applications close 15 November. Check our bio link for more information on the shore crew role.
